Jackson Five (1973) Skywriter

The title track of the last album of the Jackson Five's bubblegum phase it began with the right sound of harpsichord that was key to their post -psychedelia brand of sunny funk pop. With pre-disco clavinets underlining it and phased harmonies smoothly cutting through the chorus kept the Jackson Five fresh and up to date with new sounds, though the verses are classic Tamla Motown that's not at all a bad thing. Like I Want You Back it features Michael singing with conviction about a break up and wanting to win back a girl's heart. Considering his age though I'm not sure he could hire out a Skywriter plane, but I won't scrutinise..
